Then I lifted the tapestry, as I had seen him of Valois do, and came upon a little dark passage. My lord followed ane, and we platiged in through the dark to where we would soon the floor a line of light as from below a door. I was there first, and struck upon the door, but my lord overtaking me, flung it back and entered.

The little mom was gaily lit. In the centio stood a table, spread sa I saw, with a dainty upper for two. And there, at opposite sides of it, stood the King with his mask in his band, and my lady also holding hers, with her other hand to her heart, as though she were about to faint.

Then came the black and fearful visitation of the Great Plogac, and the King and the Court fied away with the moment to open country :" but my lord would not go

And since he would stay, I stayed, my time of pageship to his Majesty having expired.

The Plague lay beyond Temple Bar, sad to the eastward, and albeit the wind drove incos. santly our way, it had not yet reached the rural distrlot about Whitehall, in which our lodgings bay, nor did my lord seem to fear it, and would have none of the plane-waters much in use, nyowing that more died of fear than of the plague, which I do indeed believe to have bɛon the truth.

One night we sat lato, and were about to retire to our chambers, when a knocking cams at the door, and who should be ushered in bat Laly Castletowers woman, Phoobs, though indesi the poor wretch was so distraught that one had hardly known her for the clean and pretty maid of happier days.

My lord at seeing her leaped to his feet, and Yenheid her tight as though she would have escaped him, and "Where is my indy" he cried out in shaking voice, so that I soomed only then to have knows how he had suffered. "

"My Lord Castletowers," said the King, und. I thought for once he dki not mock, have a most loyal and chaste lady."

“Loyal!" cried Lord Castletowers bitterlys To whom, may it please your Majesty ?"

Why, to her liege husband, man!" said the King.

It seneth so, indeed, your Majesty. Tis a right-fitting place and seene in which to find au honest Indy."

She is bouest, nevertheless," said the King, stammering.

"Oh, lord!” cried the girl, "yon are to come atense, my lord. My lady lies in Stopusy Great, and all around the plagas fires are burning, and the dead-carts are calling. Myself have escaped the watch by a miracks. My lady lids mo kay that you are to save your heir while he is still mutainted. She thinks quly on the old, dar

"as I have surved your Majesty. Now, I'am done with it."

"Castletowers," cried the King. "It was bato jest; the lady meant no harm, nor did I. You will not leave us?

I give a glance at his Majesty us we out. He had cast off his surcoat and stood weating the broad ribbon and star of the Garter. He looked troubled, he who had made a jest of crowns aud kingdoms, but 'twas known he loved the Earl of Castletowers.

We want ent through the great Hall, when the dancing continued merrily. No one noticed us. My lady had resumed her mask, but noting the whitening of her cheek I wondered what power held her from swoon. Certainly it was no milkmaid's heart, but a royal one that carried her so proudly through the crowd of muskers, so that none guessed we were apght but of their gay company,

I did not daro speak to my lord. I was baio boy, thengh he had honoured me by hie molies, What was to assure him of his lady's honour? Let her clear hoself as well I know she conkl clo. After I had won them depart in their couch

We rode in a coach no further thu Aldgate,! and praise Have for the stater rights blackness that kid as from the watch. The rumble of the coach passed no doubt for the dead carts, that were the only life in that dolorous city; and we passed the easier because who in his senses would come entering wis eity of the plague however folk might flee from it? At Aldgate we drove the couch to the yard of the Mitre Inn, which its owners had deserted, and bidding the stout kuave who drevo us, and whom we had well plied with brandy, not to fall asleep at his post, we left him.

None questioned us se we wont through the gray streets, One or two whom wo mot skalkel away as though we carried the plugue in our pockets, and no we came to Stopney Green.

Along the Greou the fires were burning before half-a-dozen houses that had the plague, and very strange seemed their rack and fume in the gentle morning that was breaking. The houses were for the most part close skuffered. From one a white face looked out to see as pass. A

The next day ahont noon a message was brought to me that my Lord Castletowers donated to seo mo at his lodgings, and proceeding thither, I found my lord pasing up and down-bstractedly. My lady has left me, Harry Barron," he cried.

Then he imparted to me that the preceding night, being filled with anger, he had so bitterly reprunched her, and would listen to none of her defences, so that at length she fell into a swosa, in which condition he had toft her to her woman.

we made her afred.

Before a little house, green shutterol, its pur- den edorned with shells, and a most of a ship yet standing to show that here some son of Neptune had designed to pass his latter days, Phoubo paused, and turned in at the little gate. Here we were in a trace of quietness and the dawn, though some houses away on either hand the fires of hell splattered and fomed.

She went up the stairs in the grey house, and my lord upon her heels. Into a little room, curtained with chintz, and recalling the country. we followed her. A tapor burucl in the room. By its light we saw the Countess of Castletowerz with her young son on her brossĚ.

Then he tore his hair and cried out upon himself. And presently, at my instigation le went to my lady's chamber, and searching in her ball-gown found the lotter as she had said.

But there were no tidings of the conuese,Did you love Muudiin after all, my lord !" nor were to be for many a beary month. 'Ibut day the King commanded the Earl to its pre- sanne, and when my lord was come, as I knew after, he laid bare to bim that however the fault was in him, the lady was innocent.

Then he tossed my lord the note saying she would be at the ball, and my lord produced the false note written from him to her.

And so we osine to our couch, and gained my lord's lodgings in safety.

But the very next morning we rode out of Loudon at daybreak, and travelling by onsy stages reached after many days, Castle Towers, my lard's great house in Devon.
